Has anyone in the group had a larynx box remove I'm about to go through that, I'm still kinda in shock but is this a good decision, they find cancer on the top of my vocals cord?

Hi @duckdogg1943, I believe that members @thomason @phinken @msherfinski had a laryngectomy - surgery to removal of part or all of the larynx (voice box). @deborahe and @jeffk were able to avoid a complete larrngectomy as their cancers allowed for voice box sparing approaches.
